Let’s stop focusing on this tip of the iceberg that included a journalist and start insisting on finding out how many other Signal groups there are.

Maybe we will find out from the security agencies of other countries.

At the DOD is the Inspector General an "acting Inspector General" or a qualified Inspector General that has returned to the position after being laid off?

Second, yesterday I learned this: "American Oversight Sues Trump Administration for Using Signal to Plan Military Operations

The lawsuit targets Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, Bessent, Rubio for violating federal records laws by using messaging app Signal for high-level national security deliberations, and seeks to recover unlawfully deleted messages and prevent further destruction."

The case was assigned to Judge James Boadberg!

I'm really familiar with Marc Elias (Democracy Docket), Democracy Forward, and CREW. I've not heard of americanoversight.org before. Here is their mission: "American Oversight is a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that advances truth, accountability, and democracy by enforcing the public’s right to government records."

My son, who used to work for a high-ranking Democrat in the Senate, explained to me that such conversations should be on secure phones in secure rooms called "SCIF" rooms.
